- SAG Vehicles Just can't push another pedal, or just need a ride to the next stop? These trucks & SUVs rove the route and rest stops. Call the number on your wristband and look for the first SAG to come your way. Give the thumbs-down signal if you want to
be picked up. You and your bike will be transported. NOTE: The trip into the finish line is not always direct. Be patient as we pick up other cyclists in need. If you only want a ride to the next rest stop, let the driver know. Always remember to thank your
driver, who is volunteering his or her time for the weekend to support you. - Personal SAG Vehicles PROHIBITED Personal SAG vehicles are not permitted on the route. Please understand our need to cut down on vehicular traffic for YOUR SAFETY.
- Bicycle tagalongs, trailers and carriers are not allowed on the route.
- Mechanical Support- Get your bike inspected prior to ride weekend to identify major issues. Sponsoring Bike Shops will provide minor repairs on the road and on rest stops ride weekend.
- Communications Team- Communications volunteers are stationed along the route. If you encounter an accident or other emergency, let the communications volunteer know. They are easy to spot just look for a car with a big antenna!
Note: These volunteers are there for communication purposes and are not permitted to direct traffic.
- Road Marshals- These motorcycle volunteers can be found at "trouble" intersections and along the route. They monitor and guide cyclist traffic but are not permitted to stop vehicular traffic. When you see a road marshal volunteer, ride with caution. They'll be wearing orange vests so you can't miss them.
- Medical Support Emergency- medical support travels the entire route if a cyclist may be injured. Help us provide top-notch first aid by completing your yellow/orange safety card. In addition, an emergency number will be printed on the wristband included in your packet. Use this number during the ride if you spot an accident. First aid stations will also be available.
- Police and Communities Who Welcome Us- Every effort is made keep you safe. Where possible, local police have been recruited to help you travel through hazardous intersections and on busy roadways. Be courteous, as they help you travel safely through their communities.
